Now, I was in DC for a few days for my brother’s surprise birthday party: therefore there was like a one in ten billion chance of running into Anna Karenina as opposed to a one in ten trillion chance or something like that—furthermore, if i chanced upon Anna Karenina, I’d run and around the […]

12      Weird: Anna Karenina waved at me—now, i know that Anna Karenina waving at the camera didn’t mean that Alex knew anything about me—but one of the things about schizophrenia (apparently, even if you’re taking your medication), is that everything seems to have some greater purpose when it comes to the big picture.  Naturally,

     she wants to win more than she wants to change the world   and i can’t say that i wasn’t a strategic thinker myself: indeed, things can get nasty when it comes to free health care and a living wage (thirty dollars an hour).  I was willing to do almost anything to get our Anna

     i’m not digging in yet   i’m on the verge of digging in   are you kidding me?   Is this for real?  but we knew that you had to run for president when the people wanted you to run for president—if you turned them down, then they’d be let down, and they might look elsewhere.  even

     don’t you love me anymore?  i just want you to look past what you perceive as hunger; immerse yourself in your work.  but, as is often the case, in order to do the really fun things that we want to do, we have to build up to it with a series of seemingly inconsequential

     you seem too happy to be devastated—that was my assessment of how Anna Karenina was handling the likelihood that she would be the next president.  that was all well and good, and it was great to see her feeling good.  Of course i still suspected that things could get a little better for her—she

     i was tuning into AOC and various things were passing through my head but i couldn’t make much sense of what was happening—something about wolf-son, healthcare—a lot about healthcare, actually, and then she said, “i don’t mean to ignore you; so i got to wondering: what if AOC was thinking about things that were

     AOC was asking about Finnegan’s Wake; did you really read it, and i said, yes, i did, and i actually recorded it—and then felt bad about it for various reasons (i had better things to do than make a recording of me reading Finnegan’s wake—I don’t even like James Joyce; I think he’s boring,
